OC3D Throwback Thursday

[alpenwasser]

Oh yes, this is totally made for me (well, not literally, but you get my point ).

Great to see Gigabyte's X58 OC board, I've been lusting after that for ages even though
it's a few years old by now. Might still buy one at some point if the stars ever align right. :wub:

Geek nostalgia!

My first upgrade was a Blizzard 68030/68882 40MHz with 32 MB RAM for my old Amiga. ;

Holy cow now that is a blast from the past! I had the Typhoon in my A1200 it was an awesome card, not as fast as the Blizzard but it was cheaper

I have an old rig here with a Athlon chip of some description in it with a 8600GT video card, I have also got a 9800GTX+ kicking about somewhere in my box of spares. Still got my x58 build which I have had about 4-5 years now with my trusty 930 in it...

Ah the memories!

Tom,

I've got a pair of Magic 3D II 12mb PCI SLI cards (3DFX Voodoo 2's). Would you like me to send you them for a really really old school video around the origins of multi-GPU setups. I'm also a bit of an old school collector of hardware myself and it would be great to have you go right back to when the madness all began. I am more than happy to cover postage both ways (as I would like them returned to my collection) in exchange for a simple shout out for sending them in the video. Give me a PM, I also have some other old collectibles I could send as well if you're interested.

Modzy.

i been overclocking older hardware for the last year, 19x 478 socket p4's ( almost all cost more in postage), moved onto 775 socket 14 dual cores an celerons so far ( all but 1 cost less than the postage) an 2 weeks ago before you made this vid tom i bought my 2nd an currently waiting for the 3rd gtx 260 to arrive ( average cost for all 3 is 58 quid inc p&p bargin central lol)

TBT sounds like a fun change of pace from time to time. I remember my sweet 9700 pro that I fried overclocking

939 FTW.I still have my DFI Lanparty ultra D,but the Opteron 165 that used live in it is dying,would love to get another one of those.Getting 3+ghz on one of those felt soooo good:lol:

Nice! That was my first ever rig and never overclocked, it's hard to believe that i used a £30 case with the psu with it :mellow: (my friends built me it, so i plead not guilty! ) How things have changed!
